Google's AI Podcasts in NotebookLM

Mid Mic Crisis: Funny-ish Tech Podcast

On this episode of Mid Mic Daily Bite, the AI-generated hosts dive into Google's latest feature: turning your notes into an AI-generated podcast with two virtual hosts. This new addition to Google’s NotebookLM app allows users to input research and documents, which are then transformed into a dynamic audio discussion. The AI hosts summarize the material, draw connections between topics, and even engage in light banter.
The discussion on the episode explores how this AI-driven innovation could change the way people learn and interact with information. The hosts also break down their thoughts on whether AI-generated podcasts can truly capture the nuances of serious topics and whether this is the future of personal research tools.
While the concept is engaging and adds a fun layer to learning, the *Mid Mic Daily Bite* AI voices highlight the limitations, including its lighthearted tone on more sensitive subjects, its quirks with language, and the time it takes to generate an episode. With a nod to the technology’s potential and pitfalls, this episode offers a fun and critical look at Google's attempt to merge AI and podcasting.
